- Kelis (Daisy)

Kelis told host Joel Dommett that she wanted to enter after being told that her voice is 'distinctive'.

- Skin (Duck)

After being voted off, Skin said: "It was really fun jumping into a completely different character and using it to portray a sillier side of myself that the public rarely get to see, but it was quite difficult to sing in so that held me back a little!"

- Jake Shears (Unicorn)

The judges actually guessed Jake was the Unicorn. He said after the show: "It was hard at first, because friends could tell I was excited about something but I couldn’t tell them which made them crazy, so I just had to learn to pretend like there was absolutely nothing going on!"

- Denise Van Outen (Fox)

Denise didn't even tell her family what she was up to including boyfriend Eddie her kids.

- CeeLo Green (Monster)

CeeLo just missed out on a place in the final. He said he didn’t find it hard to keep the show a secret, adding: "I have a small group of people I live and work with.

"We are all essentially a part of staff and we hold each other accountable so therefore a secret is safe with us."
